Hi Donna, I also had to have valve replacement at age 56. The last thing I though of was diet after surgery. The year before I had a severe bleeding duodenal ulcer. The surgeons didn't like me having to go on warfarin with a history of bleeding ulcer but couldn't recommend using a pig valve...

Received a test strip shipment from Tapestry/QAS. They informed me it would be the last automatic shipment. Said for me to reorder when I was down to 4 test strips. Provided a new phone number and email address to reorder supplies. 1-877-262-4669 or [email protected]. Allow one...

I too, once doubted my INRatio2. It wasn't long after I started home testing. It was showing 6.8, retested a finger on the my other hand, 7.1. My wife is not on warfarin so I tested her, 1.1. The high INR was because I had increase too much warfarin. Since then, I've kept my control right on...

I checked back on my old INR log and it never showed any more change than normal during the month I stopped Carafate. I say anymore change than normal, for my INR was usually not real constant. I had started taking Carafate the year before AVR. Couple years later went in to see my GI doc. He...

I was taking carafate before and after AVR for a previous bleeding duodenal ulcer. Discontinued the carafate after couple years, had no change in INR.

Blance, I'm so sorry for you. Wishing you the very best.

When we first moved to AR, we thought the squirrels were so cute! I soon built three squirrel houses and feeders so we could enjoy watching those cute fellows. Then suddenly one morning I counted 26 squirrels around one feeder. Next they ate the seats and carpet in both of our boats. Also...

Interesting pdf! Thanks Lily.

Bethann & Nathan, welcome to the forum. Sounds like you're on top of everything and thanks for sharing. I learned from your story, I didn't know a person could have a BAV without having a murmur. You're already doing home testing and that is great. Wish you and your son the very best.

Neat picture!

Lori, yes that is correct for taking amoxicillin. Last year I had an appointment with the endodontics to clean out an old root canal. My wife forgot to remind me to take the amoxicillin hour before but they had a full dose at his office so I took it there. He went to work soon afterwards. That...

Glenda, wishing you the very best on your new job.

Maybe he's finally figured out that he will not be elected for a second term. :cool:

That's was what was upsetting my wife until she found out it was a PPO. She's still not real happy with the copay. Her plan cost is about the same as my supplement but she has prescription coverage. My wife has a Advantage PPO, it's almost the same as my supplement plan, other than she has a...

Sounds like you're doing great! Had to be, to have enjoyed a 10 hour flight after valve surgery. Excellent report, congratulations and wish you the best on continual recovery.

We've been seeing robins here for the last several weeks. Marsha, one of the places robins winter is in south Texas. We miss the beautiful TX bluebonnets, although we never had many in our part of west TX. We like traveling in your area and the TX hill country during the spring.

I'm sorry to hear the sad news. He seemed like a nice old guy. I send my condolences to you and family. God Bless.

Here's another picture showing the transformer.
